So the WEC website is total crap - I’m trying to verify that I need the Motor Trend app plus an on-demand subscription to watch Spa tomorrow. Does that sound right?

THANKS!

Sounds right to me unless WEC requires something different than the other series MTOD streams.

You need Velocity to watch it.

Website implies velocity OR motor trend on demand - does the motor trend app somehow force you to log in to your cable as well? The race is showing as an option but obviously not selectable right now. I didn’t try to watch qualifying it anything though.

I haven’t a clue, I’ve always just paid through the WEC app for races, never tried MTOD.

It might, all I see is that it will be on the Velocity Go app

Thanks, sorry I don’t mean to sound combative. It’s just annoying as shit that it isn’t clear and also the WEC app doesn’t even tell you it’ll be geoblocked here so I’m grumpy about the surprise.

As far as racing I have only used MTOD for Aussie Supercars. I can’t find anything about needing more for WEC.

I can’t either. Reddit is also full of folks who have no real idea. Guess I’ll get up at 5 and find out!

If I go in to my MTOD app and go to live events it shows the WEC race at Spa and has a countdown so I’m assuming it will be available.

Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping. So far I’ve had good luck with apps even when my cable doesn’t include the correct channels, so I have my fingers crossed!

Velocity will have the beginning and ending of the race. For the whole thing you need MotorTrend’s subscription.

Yeah, this switch of broadcasting was handled poorly.

Thanks! MTOD is by far the easier option so I’m glad that’s how it works.
